THanks Jim. Good effort. Just two minor quibbles. I think in chorus 3 "fluff and frig" should be "faff and frig". "Faff" being slang in England ( where Bernard is from) for " pointlessly wasting time, avoiding the task at hand".

And as for 'midi' in the same chorus, that's the NSW 'middie', a 285 millitre glass of beer. "Midi" of course being an electronics term. In fact I think the term 'middie' exists only in NSW. Its neighbouring states call the same measure a pot.
